My dad is a helicopter pilot so I grew up with aviation. First time I flew in a hughes 500 I was 6 months old so I get many chances for pics from the chopper My mom also works for an airline so I fly for free but I find that pics from airliners are usually pretty cheesy. Especially when u can see the wing and engine!

Anyways I thought I'd post a recent pic I took from the air this summer. This is a waterfall on the fire steel river in British Columba. I was fishing here at the time and took this photo on one of the hops we made from place to place.

I assemble vertical aerial photographs into large mosaics for a living. We take them with a vertically mounted Hassleblad MK70 in the bottom of a Cessna 185. We've got a close circuit camera mounted in the belly as well so we can see when we're over the target. Works pretty damned good. The stitching is the tough part!!

The site is pretty rough, we haven't had any time to update it lately. There are some old examples Here.

We also are Land surveyors and with our differential GPS we can correlate photographs with our legal survey drawings and produce an Image with the legal boundaries superimposed on it. Unfortunately those can be sensitive documents so I can't post an example.
